_Assistant Professor in Film Studies (1.0 FTE)_
*Job description*
The Arts, Culture and Media programme of the University of Groningen is
looking for a highly motivated full-time Assistant Professor in Film
Studies (in Dutch: universitair docent).
The candidate is expected to have a broad expertise in film history,
film theory, and film analysis. The position combines teaching (60%) and
research (40%): while we expect a willingness to teach in a wide range
of areas, the research profile of the candidate can be very specific,
adding to the already existing expertise of the film staff or opening it
to new perspectives.
We are particularly interested in candidates with an expertise in one or
more of the following areas (in no particular order):
Environmental and Ecological Approaches to Cinema
Production Studies/Film Industry Studies
Media Platform Studies/Streaming Media
Animation Studies
Queer Cinema/Gender Studies and Film
Transnational and Global Cinema
Film and Digital Humanities/Digital Methods in Film Studies/Big Data
Approaches
Avantgarde Cinema/Experimental Film/Expanded Cinema
Film Festival Studies.
The successful candidate will teach in our Bachelor’s programme in
‘Arts, Culture and Media’ as well as in our international Master’s track
‘Film and Contemporary Audiovisual Media.’ The language of instruction
is English. Women and people of color are especially encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will become a staff member of the Arts, Culture
and Media programme, which is responsible for the Bachelor’s programme
‘Arts, Culture and Media’ as well as four tracks in the master’s
programme ‘Arts and Culture’: ‘Film and Contemporary Audiovisual Media’;
‘Music, Theatre and Performance Studies’; ‘Arts Policy and Cultural
Entrepreneurship’; and ‘Arts, Cognition and Criticism.’ It currently has
21 permanent staff members, five of whom have a focus on film studies.
Our highly international staff comprises colleagues from The
Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the US, Canada, Mexico, Hungary, Greece,
Israel, Italy, and Denmark. The BA programme has an annual enrolment of
around 100–120 students from all parts of the world; the MA programme
accepts around 60 national and international students every year (ca.
20-25 have an emphasis on film studies).
